lessons

to all the ones I tried to reach
shells washed on a desolate beach
all the lessons I couldn't teach
inner walls that lay unbreeched

circling back, they tried again
begging on knees to make amends
what they did not comprehend
once it's gone, it's a frayed end

emails, texts unanswered whys
like twinkling stars high in the sky
just another lonely guy
whispering "please" their empty tries

permanent marker; names crossed through
gone, forgotten withdrawn and blue
still I ponder with morning brew
how long it was till I met you
